The firm conducts research in parallel with our design production across four knowledge "platforms":

New/Hybrid Building TypologiesThis new building typologies platform was created to develop knowledge involving emerging, evolving and hybrid building program typologies in response to societal changes and advances in technology.

Spatial UrbanismThis platform is developed to explore urban spatial conditions which blur the distinction between inside/outside, public/private, building/city which enrich the public realm and add complexity to the urban spatial experience.

Building Performance and SustainabilityThis platform seeks to develop knowledge in the area of building performance, skin technology and human comfort, and to establish design frameworks which interrogate the economic, social, and ecological sustainability of architectural production.

Habitat FuturesThis platform explores new modes of living brought about by changes in demographics, technology, climate, resources, global urbanization and social change, and seeks to develop knowledge regarding the impact of these changes on human habitation and the built environment.
